A conventional biography of one of the more interesting men in history. Here the author, Mr. Zamoyski, trains his eye of the personal aspects of Napoleon's life, including his extended family and many loves, while also presenting the political and military context of his rule. It helps one to understand current European events with this background.Those seeking an in-depth analysis of his many battles should keep seeking; here they are usually covered superficially.Napoleon, like Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill, has had many volumes written about him. This one is reasonably good and even-handed for the reader wishing to be introduced to the one who upset the map of Europe over two hundred years ago.(I am in the camp that sees Napoleon as one who caused untold misery and death for no good reason, except the quest for personal glory.)
Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) has had more books written about him than could fill a well stocked library! His meteoric rise and fall have been well documented on film and page. In this new biography the reader will come to learn more about the personality of the little corporal. Napoleon was born in a large family in Corsica. His father Carlo was a lawyer and noble who had a complicated relationship with Paoli the liberator of Corsica. Napoleon went to Brienne to receive his military training and was born in the days when Corsica was a French possession. He was a quiet and serious young man who became an artillery officer during the stirring days of the French Revolution. He succeeded in military glory and after a long series of complicated political jockeying became the emperor of France. He was a great field general and led France to victory over her opponents such as Great Britain, Prussia, Austria, Denmark and Spain. He invaded Russia but was forced to retreat following his defeat by General Snow in the horrible winter of 1812. Napoleon lost his crown and empire following his overwhelming defeat at Waterloo Belgium in 1815. He had escaped from the isle of Elbe but following Waterloo he spent his last years as a prisoner of the British on the island of St. Helena. Napoleon was wed to the unfaithful but fetching Josephine. She could not produce and heir so he divorced her wedding a Hapsburg princess who gave him a son. He was a serial adulterer and womanizer of historical renown. He was bright and a good leader of armies who enjoyed learning. The Rosetta Stone was discovered by a scientist who was part of the intellectual team of scholars he took with him on his invasion of Egypt. Napoleon had a large and difficult family. Much of the biography deals with how Napoleon dealt with them. He was a kindhearted man but could be brutal against his enemies. If you want to delve into the battlefields of Europe during the Napoleonic era I suggest works by David Chandler and Andrew Roberts. If you would more enjoy the personal side of Napoleon then this book will meet your needs I enjoyed this book and can heartily recommend it to you. Vive La France!
Napoleon Bonaparte is one of those larger than life figures who becomes a myth, a hero, and a villain, and in the process the true human being often disappears. In Napoleon: A Life Adam Zamoyski works to discover the man behind the legend. Zamoyski works to place Napoleon in the context of his time period, both politically and philosophically. He works to explain the occasionally unexplainable mindset of the French Revolution and French Republic so that readers can understand how ready France was to accept someone like Napoleon as their leader.Zamoskyi warns readers in his introduction that he examines the military aspects of Napoleon's life only as he feels they effected his political and personal situation. This leads to an uneven study of the military aspect of Napoleon, heavily emphasized in the beginning and much less so by the 1812 campaigns in Russia. Waterloo receives barely a page and a half. But since these are well researched and frequently written about in other books, I think the unevenness worked in the book's favor. More is certainly known about those times than about Napoleon's family, his work on restoring France, or his behavior to enemies and colleagues.Here we discover Napoleon's formative years on Corsica and his work to define his life on his own terms. Corsican traditions emphasized family above all and Napoleon followed this throughout his life- while his brothers and sisters only considered family when it benefitted them directly. Napoleon was a man who grew up despising the idea of love, only to fall head over heels in love with Josephine- who I also learned far more about in this book than I had ever known before! He was not a man who was comfortable delegating authority, which became a serious problem when he was on campaign and trying to run an empire. Even when he wanted peace, he felt his only true claim to the throne of France was as a general.A well-written and well researched book, Zampyshki's Napoleon delves behind the myths to get as close to the man as possible. Neither a saint nor a demon, Napoleon is instead presented as a man with both genius and faults, who retained until the end of his life an incredible charisma that caused men to devote their lives to his star, even when it seemed hopeless. Which is perhaps a large part of why he is still so fascinating today.An excellent biography for those interested in learning more about French history and the Napoleonic Wars, as well as the self-made man behind the legend.
Simply put, the best one volume account of the Emporer that I have ever read. Evenly balanced, with wonderful prose, Zamoyski's biography is valuable as an introduction to Napoleon, and a highly enjoyable read for those like myself who have read many books on the great man.
Marvelously articulate conversational mode including the historian's detail and the rich socio-cultural mimesis of Mr. Zamoyski.
I have read numerous books but this one has a clerity that few others have
